Glass Animals just unveiled “Vampire Bat,” the fifth installment in their Fresh Fruit Series where Dave Bayley and the band get to experiment with guests and collaborators while Dave who produces all Glass Animals records plays with new sounds. This one teams Dave with producer Rob Bisel who’s worked with SZA, continuing the series’ tradition of bringing in exciting collaborators to push the sound in unexpected directions. Previous Fresh Fruit releases include “Lose Control” with Joey Bada$$, the much missed “Gold Lime,” “Tokyo Drifting” with Denzel Curry and “I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)” with Albert Hammond Jr., establishing Fresh Fruit as the space where Glass Animals takes risks and explores territory outside their usual album cycles without worrying about how it fits into any bigger picture or commercial expectations.
